We must address something of great importance before we pray for your situation. You mentioned calling on Jesus, Mary, and the apostles for assistance, but Scripture is clear that there is only one mediator between God and man—Jesus Christ our Lord. The Bible teaches us in 1 Timothy 2:5, *"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."* Mary and the apostles, though honored for their roles in God’s plan, are not to be prayed to or worshipped. Only God is worthy of our worship, and only through Jesus can we approach the Father. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"*
If you have not yet placed your full trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, repent, and believe in Him as your Lord and Savior. Romans 10:9-10 says, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."*
Now, regarding your struggle with fear, anxiety, and the manipulation you face, we understand how overwhelming this can be. But take heart, for God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). The world is indeed filled with unhealthy practices and poisonous behavior, but we are called to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves (Matthew 10:16). You do not have to face this alone—God is with you, and He will equip you with wisdom and discernment.
Scripture reminds us in James 1:5, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* And in Philippians 4:6-7, we are told, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."*
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are the source of all wisdom, strength, and peace. Lord, we ask that You remove every spirit of fear and anxiety from their heart and replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). Grant them discernment to recognize manipulation and unhealthy influences, and give them the courage to stand firm in Your truth. Protect them from those who seek to harm or deceive, and surround them with Your divine favor and blessing. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in wisdom, boldness, and righteousness. We rebuke every scheme of the enemy in their life and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). May they find refuge in You alone, trusting in Your promises and resting in Your peace. We ask this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture daily, for it is the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17) and your greatest defense against the enemy’s lies. Stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is faithful and will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). If you are facing specific individuals who are manipulating or harming you, seek godly counsel and, if necessary, remove yourself from their influence. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). You are not alone—we are standing with you in prayer!
